2019 FORD EDGE Engine Problems

The EGR cooler on my vehicle had to be replaced. This is listed on a TSB issued by Ford, however, is not a recall. The first time it had to be replaced was 11/2021 when my vehicle had 36,949 miles on it. This was diagnosed by the dealership and the part was replaced. The engine warning light came on and the messages showed in the Ford app letting me know what was occurring and that I needed to go to the dealership

The sensor on the EGR cooler failed. I have had my EGR cooler replaced two times. The most recent time was in September of 2024. In December of 2024, the engine light came on and the warning messages showed in the Fordpass app stating there was an issue with the exhaust system. After the dealership reviewed it, they had to replace the EGR sensor.

My vehicle had to have the EGR cooler replaced for the second time. The first time was when the vehicle was at almost 37,000 miles, the second time was at 129,575 miles. Just like during the previous occurrences, the check engine light came on and the message in my Fordpass app advised that there was a problem with the engine cooling system and I needed to proceed to my dealership. In this instance, I had it towed to the dealership rather than driving it. This is the same system that currently has a TSB issued for it.

While my vehicle was in the shop having the transmission rebuilt and the torque converter replaced, the techs identified that there was a continued shudder. At this time, after researching the codes on my vehicle, they identified that the EGR Purge Valve needed to be replaced. They identified it because the vehicle was running rough and should not have been after the items were repaired.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle stalled with the check engine and coolant warning light illuminated. The contact also noticed white smoke coming from the exhaust. The vehicle was taken to the dealer where it was diagnosed that the EGR valve failed and needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure. The approximate failure mileage was 26,446.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated, and the vehicle shut down. The vehicle was taken to a dealer and the dealer refused to diagnose the vehicle and provided the contact an estimate for the repair. The contact stated the air conditioner and catalytic converter also had failed to operate as designed. The vehicle was then taken to an independent mechanic for the repair. The contact stated that the purge valve and spark plugs were replaced, and an oil change was performed. After the vehicle was repaired, the contact stated while depressing the accelerator pedal the vehicle hesitated to respond. The vehicle was inspected by another independent mechanic at the residence, and it was diagnosed and determined that the spark plugs and ignition coil needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was...

Engine overheated while driving on the highway. White smoke came out of tailpipe during engine running. Coolant reservoir was empty after I parked the car and turned off the engine. Had to get the car towed to the dealership the next day to get it checked out and was confirmed that coolant got leaked inside the engine.

Cooling intrusion to motor, engine replaced

2019 Ford Edge has the same 2.0 liter eco boost 240PS that’s currently involved in the class action lawsuit. The problem is that the coolant sleeve is too close to the toy he cylinder and failed causing coolant to enter the engine. I was traveling on the interstate and with no warning the hot engine light came on and engine shut down. The dealer confirmed that the mother need to be replaced with the updated long block that is being put in the 2015 - 2018 Ford Edge and the 2017 - 2019 Fusion/MKZ/Escape and MKC vehicles. The vehicle only has 75000 miles on it and has never towed or been used hard. We had the vehicle for less that 15,000 miles and now have a completely useless vehicle. Ford refuses to admit any fault even with the engine codes being the exact same. The 2019 for edge need to...

engine coolant sucked into motor. Check engine light and temp light came on. Luckly was intown and doing 40 mph. Copy of repair order from dealer uploaded.

My 2019 Ford Edge SEL has 37,000 miles and I keep it maintained regularly. We were 2 miles from our house when a loud blaring signal popped on my dashboard that my coolant was very low and at that point the car started "sputtering". We inched it home and sure enough, the coolant was empty. We've had no leaking on the driveway at any time. We filled the coolant reservoir and the message did not go away. We had it towed to our mechanic the next day and he said the engine needed to be replaced!!!! What? NO WARNING!! Now 2 days prior (which was a Friday), my check engine light came on and I could see a white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe and the car hesitated. After a few minutes, that went away. Drove it to work and back - 4 miles each way. The next day...

Purge flow valve had replaced by Ford Service on 10/5/24. Car wouldn’t start after getting gas. Check engine light came on. Code was Po496. Currently, upon acceleration @15-20 mph car starts jerking, buck, slipping, very hard to go hill. Took to Ford Service for diagnostic on 10/15/24. Told torque converter shuddering on PIDS. Recommend replacing torque converter @ a cost of $5200. Per, reviewing many complaints on this same model & yr many haven’t had success with just replacing torque converter. It doesn’t fix issue. Transmission had to be replaced. Ford does have a TSB 21-2389 that supersedes TSB 21-2081 out. It states cars with 8F35 transmission may have this issue due to the software in the power train control module. Instructing, to reprogram the PCM & the transmission solenoid strategy. After reviewing all complaints on this issue, this solution does not correct problem. I was also told by Ford...

Sept. My car began bucking and jerking really bad. I was at 63,000 miles. I called Ford who said to get it in...the soonest they could get me in was over a month out. I told them it was a serious safety concern because of the jerking and that they were putting my safety at risk making me wait so long driving a car like that. I had to wait. I tried fuel injection cleaner to see if that would help, it didn't. I never had any codes or lights saying anything was wrong. Ford looked at it and drove it and the mechanics understood why I felt unsafe driving it, they said it jerked really bad. I told Ford I was afraid it would jerk and hit someone when leaving a light or cause me to get hit by jerking and pausing while turning. I was in there a...

This is an update to Complaint Number 11619818 filed on 10/15/2024. The engine surging problem referenced in the original report has been resolved per Technical Service Bulletin 21-2389, found on your website and forwarded to a local Ford dealership service department. Thank you for making available to the public these important technical documents! Best Regards, [XXX] INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Vehicle seemed to be idling strange. Also seemed jerky while waiting at the stop light. Attempted to accelerate and it was lagging. Once I started driving it seemed better until the "Engine Coolant Over Temperature" alert displayed. The vehicle then started disbursing a white smoke. After pulling over the light went off, however the vehicle continued to jerk forward and was idling strange. Continued to have a lagging effect when attempting to accelerate. The vehicle continued to emit a white smoke. The vehicle was brought to a mechanic who indicated the head gasket and/or engine needed replacement. Had been told be the mechanic they have had several over issues exactly like this one. They also indicated there was a recall and/or possible lawsuit. My VIN came up with no recall which makes no sense considering I am having the same issue that's been reported under the recall.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at an undisclosed speed, the check engine warning light illuminated. The contact drove the vehicle to the shoulder of the road. The contact raised the hood and performed an inspection. The contact noticed that the coolant reservoir was empty, and the coolant had leaked into the exhaust. In addition, the contact stated that the coolant was burning off the exhaust. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed with a failed EGR cooler, spark plugs, and an oil change. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure but did not assist. The contact was advised to contact the NHTSA Hotline and report the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 67,035.

Engine: Severe surging at low power settings, especially during engine warm-up. This surging is not related to air conditioner compressor cycling on/off, or turbo lag. Body: Rear hatch "kick to open" feature often activates suddenly without warning and without a deliberate kick motion by operator. This feature cannot be disabled; only the actuator can be disabled using instrument panel menus. This creates a condition where any inadvertent "open" command using any device will unlatch, but not open, the hatch. This can lead to loss of internal security and/or driving with an unlatched hatch. Thank You

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the vehicle began to shake and lost motive power with the check engine warning light illuminated. The vehicle was towed to the dealer where it was diagnosed that EGR valve had failed, causing engine failure. The contact was informed that the engine needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and referred the contact to the NHSTA Hotline for assistance. The approximate failure mileage was 43,335.

The EGR Cooler (K2GZ-9F464-A) on my 2019 Ford Edge Titanum EcoBoost 2L cracked acutely while driving my children to school. No warning lights came on at any point. Once the car was in park, I noticed large amounts of smoke pouring out of the exhaust pipes. I had my children in the car strapped into car seats. Should the car have caught fire my children's lives would have been in jeopardy. Our lives would have also been at risk for injury should my car have completely failed while driving. This part failure has been confirmed by a repair shop. July 09, 2020, there was a TSB by Ford issued for: 2.0L EcoBoost - Illuminated MIL With Various DTCs And/Or Low Coolant Level, White Smoke from Tailpipe And/Or External Coolant Leak. However, this known failure with TSB information was not dispelled to me (the public) through Ford Pass App or by...

I literally financed a 2019 Ford Edge with 88k miles on [XXX] from SUTTON FORD in Matteson IL. I didn’t even have the car 5 hours and the transmission started having serious shifting issues and almost caused me to get in a crack with my son in the car. Took it back to SUTTON FORD and they are telling me the transmission is bad and needs to be replaced. I think this is a problem considering how long I’ve had them vehicle and it is a safety concern that needs to be addressed.

The vehicle is a 2019 Ford Edge AWD. At 39,500 miles white smoke comes out of tailpipe, engine coolant quickly disappears, engine runs rough and check engine comes on. At this point the vehicle is undrivable and won’t respond to gas pedal inputs. Appears to be a known engine issue; however, dealer says it’s an exhaust gas recirculation pump and parts needing replacement, with approximate cost of $2000. This is a premature failure of an engine and may cause a safety concern if driving at highway speeds. Vehicle is out of 5 year warranty with 4/2019 build date.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that on several occasions while accelerating, the vehicle jerked back and forth continually. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed and determined that the fuel pressure sensor needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken back to the same dealer and then taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed and determined that the turbo charger needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired but the failure persisted. The vehicle was taken to the same dealer, but the failure could not be replicated. The contact stated that on one occasion, while the vehicle was running, the contact entered the residence, and upon returning, the vehicle stalled. The vehicle was not able to be restarted. The vehicle was then towed to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed...

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact noticed that the engine coolant was quickly depleted. There was no warning light illuminated. The failure persisted and the vehicle shuddered while idling with heavy white smoke coming from the exhaust pipe. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was discovered that the long block was damaged. A dealer was notified of the failure and the contact scheduled an appointment for a diagnostic test. The manufacturer was also notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline to report the failure. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage was approximately 86,000.

The mechanic that inspected the car after it broke down said that the EcoBoost 2.0 has an issue that the engine cracks or something like that allowing coolant or whatnot to get into the spark plugs. I think I explained that. The car now needs an engine. With 83000 miles. I’m sure this could cause a fire.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving 60 MPH, the vehicle made an abnormal sound and shuddered. The check engine warning light was illuminated. Additionally, the contact stated while attempting to pull into a parking spot, the vehicle failed to respond while shifting into reverse(R) and into drive(D). The contact stated that after turning off and restarting the vehicle several times, the vehicle jolted while responding. The contact stated that the vehicle later failed to start. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, where the battery was replaced, and the vehicle restarted; however, the dealer informed the contact that the transmission failure persisted. The dealer determined that the transmission needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline for assistance. The failure mileage was 118,412.

I HAD TAKEN MY VEHICLE TO MITCHELL SELIG FORD DEALERSHIP FOR A PROBLEM WITH COOLANT BURNING WHITE SMOKE OUT OF MY EXHAUST PIPES. THEY DID A DIAGNOSTIC CHECK AND THEY FOUND THE EGR COOLER LEAKING INTO THE EXHAUST CAUSING ENGINE MISFIRE AND WHITE SMOKE. WHEN I DISCOVERED THE SMOKE I WAS ON THE HIGHWAY AND MY CAR HAD STALLED TWICE IN THE MIDDLE OF TRAFFIC THAT COULD'VE RESULTED IN A HORRIBLE ACCIDENT. LUCKILY NO ONE HIT ME AND I WAS ABLE TO RESTART MY CAR. I HAD TO REFILL MY COOLANT MULTIPLE TIMES TO AVOID MY ENGINE CATCHING ON FIRE.

This car was built in 2018 not 2029. Coolant is leaking into cylinder of engine. Can cause possible overheating and or engine fire and eventually engine failure. Not exactly sure when it started but its getting worse.

Was having some jerking and spudding when starting from a stop until getting above 30mph.No warnings or lights of any kind. Had a rough start one morning and the engine light came on. Took it to a Ford dealer and was told that coolant is leaking into #4 cylinder and we basically need a new engine. No warnings or anything prior to this one time and getting a health check on the Ford App about a Misfire. Miles 103,400

My car Continuously jerks while driving. It's like stuttering, I am afraid it will not pick up speed one day while driving and making turns. This is a scary and safety issue as I do not want to be in a position of making a turn and getting hit. I know that I am not the only one complaining about this issue. Please look into all complaints and rectify this problem. Thank you. Sincerely [XXX] . INFORMATION REDACTED PURSUANT TO THE FREEDOM OF INFORMATION ACT (FOIA), 5 U.S.C. 552(B)(6)

Transmission failed at 60k miles. Problem persisted. Now looking at service report issued in 2020. Engine stutters and stammers in cold start low gear. Losing coolant as well. Sparks changed throttle body cleaned. Problem still noticeable Car currently in repair shop along with all documents of work done

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that on several occasions while driving and while the vehicle was idling, the vehicle was shaking abnormally. The contact stated that on two occasions while driving at slow speeds, there was a burning odor inside the cabin of the vehicle, and an "Engine Overheating - Turn Off Engine" message was displayed. The check engine warning light was illuminated. The vehicle was steered to the side of the road, turned off, and restarted. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed that the thermostat and the EGR cooler needed to be replaced. The vehicle was repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure. The failure mileage was approximately 39,800.

Upon starting vehicle has white smoke or steam out of both tailpipes, upon my inspection found radiator reservoir almost empty. Did not drive vehicle.

The vehicle would not accelerate and caused my to bump into a wall. The vehicle is spluttering and the interior filled with chemical smoke caused by a coolant leak and it burning by the motor. the 1.5L vehicles are under an extended warrenty because of the EGR cooler malfunctioning. There was zero coolant in the car. The car illuminated malfunction indicator said powertrain malfunction. My car has 62000 miles on it and is no longer covered by warrenty

At 45,494 miles, the vehicle exhibited rough idle at full stop. Further identified white smoke from the exhaust and a burning smell. No warning light displayed. Had the vehicle towed to a Ford dealership for diagnostics. Diagnostics didn't identify any error codes and there are still no warning lights. The diagnosis indicates coolant intrusion from a leaking head gasket into all cylinders. The recommended resolution is an engine replacement. This vehicle is only 8 months out of the 60 month 50,000 mile power train warranty.

relatively new car, 77,000 miles, out of warranty. temperature warning light came on. Taken to dealer. Exhaust Gas Recirculation (EGR) Cooler was leaking coolant. no puddle or evidence of a leak was apparent in parking area. EGR was replaced three weeks ago. Check engine light came on. Dealer reset warning light. light returned during a vacation trip. upon return, white smoke was noticed from exhaust. Dealer diagnosed that evidence of coolant damage was present in two cylinders. Dealer recommended that Engine be replaced. Internet research revealed many discussions about EGR Coolers leaking engine coolant into the engine intake. It was also noted that other ford makes and models in the build date timeframe have had recalls concerning coolant leaking into the engine. No current recall on Ford Edges. Ford opened a case and is investigating further with the dealer service department.

Torque converter and transmission failure. Torque converter cannot maintain speed on vehicle, lurches and jerks around 30mph, and tries to launch vehicle while stopped with brake fully depressed.

I am having trouble with my car jerking when accelerating between 30 and 50 mph. I originally began to have trouble with my 2019 Ford Edge on 5/13/22. On this date, the car began to overheat and I ended up having to incur the expense of not only having the car towed; but also of retrieving the car as the closest Ford dealership at the time was 5 hours away from my home. In this instance, the car was repaired under warranty and a code of TSB 20-2234. Shortly after the repair, I noticed that my car's wifi was no longer working; and, when I inquired I was told that there would be a $400 diagnostic fee. Furthermore, after about 6 months I noticed that the car would begin to jerk when accelerating. There were no console warnings, just an irregularity when driving. I took it back to the dealership...

We purchased a 2019 Ford Edge Titanium from Car Max. It is 5 years old with only 60k miles. While idling, the engine was bogging and running rough. In addition, a foul smell like firework smoke was coming from the vents. After bringing it to a repair pal certified mechanic, they diagnosed that coolant was leaking into cylinder 2, and we would need a new engine to rectify the issue. The 2019 Ford Edge we purchased was assemble in October 2018, as the 5 year warranty expired in October of 2023. It is experiencing the EXACT SAME problem as all earlier models that were part of the Ford recall. Consequently, we are experience emotional distress in rectifying this issue since the 2019 model year was not covered under the recall bulletin.

2019 ford edge sel ecoboost 2.0L. Studders when accelerating. Only 90k miles on it and needs a new transmission and torc converter. There are thousands of edges with this problem make for fix it.

The contact's friend owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at various speeds, the vehicle would shut off without warning. Upon restart of the vehicle, the temperature gauge indicated that the engine was hot(H). Upon inspection, it was discovered that the coolant reservoir was almost empty. The contact stated that coolant was frequently added to the coolant reservoir due to the recurring failure. Upon further inspection, the contact discovered that coolant was leaking into an engine cylinder, causing heavy white smoke to come from the exhaust pipe. A dealer was notified of the failure and the contact was instructed to take the vehicle to the dealer for a diagnostic test. The contact was then referred to the manufacturer who referred the contact to the NHTSA Hotline. The dealer and manufacturer stated there were no recalls on the vehicle. The vehicle was not repaired. The failure mileage...

My car seemed like it was losing power as I was driving many times - I had concerns and took it in and they mentioned I either needed an entire transmission or the torque converter part needed to be replaced. There are MANY of the Ford Edges ranging in years close to mine that have this recall; however mine is not included. When I spoke with Ford they mentioned they wouldn't pay for it, but I fear it's a safety concern for myself and many others from my research in this predicament. This is thousands of dollars that I am not able to afford and it seems like a 5 year old car shouldn't need a new transmission. It definitely feels unsafe and unjust.

Torque converter slip requiring a new transmission confirmed by an independent service center and third party warranty company. There were no warning lights. It's a 2019 Ford Edge with 45,000 miles. This is a KNOWN issue with these year/make/models and Ford should be required to do something about it.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated that while driving at an undisclosed speed, the coolant malfunction warning light illuminated, and the vehicle started shaking uncontrollably. The contact was able to pull into a parking garage and parked the vehicle. The contact attempted to start the vehicle later the same day, and the vehicle started shaking again. The vehicle was taken to an independent mechanic where it was diagnosed with a blown head gasket and an unrepairable engine. The contact stated that the vehicle was towed back to the residence. The contact called the dealer and was informed to bring the vehicle to the dealer. The vehicle was towed to the dealer, and it was confirmed that the head gasket was blown. The vehicle had not been repaired. The manufacturer was made aware of the failure and confirmed that the VIN was not under recall. The failure...

Detailed account: After my morning commute, the car started sounding like it was idleing hard with a strange smell. It didn't smell like buring oil or plastic/rubber. Midday, I went to a store 1/2 mile from my work. There was little noticable sound upon starting. I pulled into the parking lot, when I shifted into reverse to park, the car shut off. There were no warning lights on the dash. I shifted to park, then turned the car back on and parked. There was smoke coming from one of the tail pipes that lasted several minutes after shut-off. After 30 min, I turned on the car and shifted into reverse to leave the parking spot. The car shut off and the brakes were not responsive as rolled slightly down an incline. Again no warning lights, so I returned to my workplace and finished my day. We contacted a mechanic and...

While driving on freeway, car began to drive poor and overheat, coolant was drained rapidly. Had to keep car at 40mph to get to rest stop to add more coolant. Upon dealer inspection, coolant leak into the engine was found. Engine only had <48k miles, and car has been maintained well. Car was 3 months past warranty, and the entire engine replacement cost of $8300 is not covered by ford for an obvious design defect that is risky for people driving these types of engines on the road.

The contact owns a 2019 Ford Edge. The contact stated while driving at approximately 20 MPH, he observed smoke coming from the exhaust pipe with an abnormal burning odor. The vehicle was taken to a dealer where it was diagnosed that coolant intrusion had caused the engine to become blown and that the long block needed to be replaced. The vehicle was not repaired. The manufacturer was notified of the failure and a complaint was filed. The failure mileage is 60,223.

The car jerks forward when gas pedal is lightly pressed up to 40mph. I'm continually almost hitting cars in traffic even when staying a good distance away. At first it will not go and then all of a sudden jerks. There is a TSB ion the transmission. It does a buck / shudder/jerk

I was driving on the freeway when an engine overheating warning light came on. I exited the freeway at the nearest exit and my vehicle lost power and white smoke was coming from the exhaust. My vehicle was towed to the nearest Ford dealership. Upon inspection, they discovered coolant was leaking into the exhaust and they repaired it pursuant to TSB 20-2234. This is a known issue to Ford as they have had many complaints of this same issue with all of the Ford models with the Ecoboost engine. They have offered full coverage for repairs of other models but not my vehicle. This issue could have caused a vehicle fire.

CEL light came on while at a stop light. Called my Ford dealership while I was at the light and made an appointment to bring my car in. Light went off after a couple of stops but I still took my car in as it had started to idle a little rough like it might want to stall. At first, service thought just new spark plugs were needed, but after installing them they noticed white smoke coming out of the tail pipe. Upon further inspection they saw there was coolant leaking into the engine through the head gasket and I needed either a new head gasket or a new engine. Car had 79724 mile on it, always been service on time at the Ford dealership, had just had it serviced November 8th and had them do the fuel induction service that they recommended. The car could have caught on fire,...

The wrench light and check engine light continue to come on. The vehicle has been at the dealership for 5 weeks now and they cant figure out whats wrong with. This is the 3rd visit in 4 months for the same problem. The first time it occured driving it home from dealership the day we bought it. Codes continue to say powertrain malfunction/reduced power, specifically the torque convertor clutch failed to apply. This vechicle shifts very rough, especially when going uphill, there is random times the RPMs spike without us pressing the gas petal. This vehicle is a lemon and it is not safe to drive.
